I am overcome by the sadness

along…a path
from bare brush
along a mountain path–
the sound of frost

brittle autumn leaves
that crumble in the

fall flowers…all faded
blow if you will,
fall wind–the fall flowers
have all faded.

glowing leaves
fallen to the ground
like those words of old–
glowing leaves

light remains…in the leaves
the sun goes down—
but evening light remains
in the leaves

still autumn is here…
the sun beats down
but still autumn is here
in morning dew
